Harvested and distilled in 1992 and matured in brand new loose grain oak casks. Deep amber, some sediment evident. Initial inspections detect marshmallow and vanilla; several minutes exposure lifts the bouquet a notch as pepper, cinnamon and stewed apple-like scents develop, contributing depth and freshness. Seamless and well rounded with a semi sweet harmony of dried fruits, honey, spicy oak and balancing acidity throughout. Finish is accented by slightly astringent oak, thinning out and exiting early. Dilute honey aftertaste. A smooth and relaxed style.

Lobo Cider started with some of their lovely cider, a conversation with a renowned whiskey maker, and a bit of dreaming. Sometime later with cider double distilled in the copper pot, then aged in French oak barrels for three years, and careful blending, they are proud to release a superb South Australian Apple Brandy. In France apple brandy is known as Calvados. You can call this one Lobodos! Twice the wolf.

L'Auteur VSOP Napoleon is made from the finest grapes that are blended and aged in top quality oak barrels. Blended and bottled in France using only the finest ingredients.

An amber-yellow colour with a lively bouquet which is both mature and expressively floral (with fresh notes which are almost minty). A very supple attack, with a pleasurable intensity conveyed by woody spices and illuminated by hints of fresh mint. The robust yet delicate frame of woody and fruity flavours is enhanced by vanilla, liquorice and macerated fruit overtones.

A brandy harvested and distilled in 2008, from the Grande Champagne terroir! A "young" Grande Champagne to discover! Tasting notes: Colour: a beautiful straw yellow colour Nose: Scents of rose, ripe pear, fresh fig. Palate: fruity, lively and exhilarating: muscat grapes, mirabelle plum... and deliciously greedy: madeleine, shortbread biscuits. Lovely supple finish on almond, and orange blossom - the oak, wonderfully integrated, brings just the right amount of roundness.

The Vieille Réserve is often the favourite cognac of our Grande Champagne lovers, especially ladies. This cognac expresses all the fullness of the fruity aromas typical of a Grande Champagne, aged for a long time in oak barrels. To fully appreciate this cognac, take time, sit in a good chair and heat the glass with the palm of your hand. The trip to a stone fruit orchard can begin. At the beginning of the tasting, the aromas of fresh fruit at the beginning of summer - like peach or apricot - appear. As the glass warms, aromas of riper fruit, more oxidized by the sun, are revealed, such as plums, prunes and Agen prunes. These are the fruits of late summer: hot, matured, and stewed. At the end of the tasting, spices appear then the vanilla side of the oak barrel. Round and mellow, this cognac is easily savoured. Another remarkable point, the length in the mouth, so characteristic of the Grande Champagne. The combination with a chocolate dessert (such as a Black Forest or a fondant) is quite appropriate.
